The history of domesticated cattle begins with the history of civilization. Modern domestic cattle include the European species and the Asian domesticated zebu. The European type is a domesticated version of the wild aurochs, which had been hunted to extinction by the early 1600s. Other cattle domesticated and farmed in mountainous parts of Asia include the gaur and the yak. In many parts of Africa, local people keep herds of semi wild Ankole cattle. There are many breeds established by generations of cattle-breeders. For practical purposes, however, we classify cattle according to the object or objects for which they are kept, i.e. for labour, beef, milk, or any two, or all three. In some parts of Africa cattle are farmed for blood. In Asia and parts of Africa they are not kept for milk – the adults’ digestive systems lack the enzyme necessary to digest lactose (milk sugar). After cattle are slaughtered, their hides provide leather and bones, horns and hooves are used for making gelatin, glue and bone meal fertilizer. Young females, before they have born a calf, are called heifers; the males or bulls, when castrated and fattened for meat, are known as steers. There are many different breeds of cattle: beef, dairy, dual-purpose. Ideal beef cattle as a rule are small milk producers. The characteristic feature of good beef animals is their stocky form showing good meat producing capacity. The Hereford are bred for their yield of lean meat. The females of dairy cattle, however, are notable for large udders capable of great milk production. Some, such as the Ayrshire and the Jersey, have been developed to produce high yields of milk. Dual-purpose cattle are equal producers of both meat and milk. Such breeds as the black-and-white Holstein are dual-purpose, providing both milk and meat.
